Click here to download this great show!!!! Seriously, I had so much fun interview the Balloonatic, Addi. I’ve know Addi for 20 years. We did radio at KFJC, when he was Andy Cadavar, and I was the Reverend Dah Wave. So many great stories.

Assi and his friend Charlie traveled the world together, placing extravagant baloon hats on people’s heads and taking pictures to prove it. Amazing is all I can say. Addy is an interesting, interested, talented, and creative individual. I could have interviewed him the entire four hours, but there was too much good music to play tonight. Included in the good music, is Addi’s own band, Unpopable. It features Henry Bermudez on guitar, and Addi on the Balloon Bass. You read correctly.

Take a look at their website here.
Take a look at their myspace here.
Take a look at Addi’s youtube site here.

Addi also played live balloon bass solo in the studio this evening.
